Although it was five years ago, Sanches said he still remembers “the rush and the feeling of debuting at legendary Dodger Stadium. One thing that really popped up in my mind was having two Hall of Fame radio announcers.”

After he left the game, Sanches remembers sitting down in the dugout within earshot of a radio.

“I could hear Vin Scully from the dugout,” he said.

“I started thinking, ‘That’s Vin Scully!’ And for Philadelphia, we had Harry Kalas. Those are two Hall of Famers. That was a pretty sweet memory to have.”

Tonight, Sanches’ starting debut will be described by four Hall of Famers – Scully; two Spanish-language announcers: Jaime Jarrin of the Dodgers and Felo Ramirez of the Marlins; and Dave Van Horne, the Marlins’ radio man who will be inducted in July.

“I’m excited,” Sanches said. “I was telling my wife before this even came up, I was thinking a couple of weeks ago, it just came to me, ‘Man, it’d be cool to start again.’

“All of a sudden, a couple of weeks later this happens to come up.”

Sanches is plugging Josh Johnson’s slot. The Marlins hope this is the last start Johnson misses and that he can return by June 6 or 7.

Sanches is 3-1 with a 1.52 ERA in 16 appearances this year. He doesn’t plan to change anything about his game-plan tonight.

“Everything stays the same,” he said. “It just starts in the first inning.”
